Thank you.<br /><br />This family business of love, pain, hurt and forgiveness is a tough one. I'm sorry for what seems to be a lifetime of loss. It's hard to understand how parents can inflict such misery time and time again, but they can. Some, relentlessly.<br /><br />As a hospice nurse, I see quite a bit of this as it all seems to come out at the end of life. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ira Byock's book, The Four Things That Matter Most. It's a powerful book about forgiveness and love. http://www.thefourthings.org/<br /><br />Peace.Rudeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889298704039071473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429266377364863842.post-86663276228720622392009-11-08T21:33:23.712-06:002009-11-08T21:33:23.712-06:00Thank you Dr. John for commenting.

I think you have to realize that whatever happened wasn't directed at you specifically, even if the hurt came directly at you and to you. You realize that the other person was flawed and didn't have the capacity to understand how deeply you were wounded. The hurt happened and the pain endures but the person who flung the rocks at your soul did so because they were flawed, not you.<br /><br />So, forgive the person out of mercy but not the action. You don't have to accept what was done but you can accept that the conduct was that of an extremely flawed, and human, individual.♥Mimi♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/02962332639467877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429266377364863842.post-26502228787288017842009-11-07T19:26:43.357-06:002009-11-07T19:26:43.357-06:00DeEtta, you are so right about forgiveness and I a...DeEtta, you are so right about forgiveness and I am blessed to have you as my blogg friend.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429266377364863842.post-29679479084409099092009-11-07T19:25:14.112-06:002009-11-07T19:25:14.112-06:00Sarge, thank you very much for stopping by and lea...Sarge, thank you very much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429266377364863842.post-63219844514049172842009-11-07T19:09:16.762-06:002009-11-07T19:09:16.762-06:00Your "Gratitude" posts have really touch...Your "Gratitude" posts have really touched me.

But also, it leads to bitterness and that is nasty stuff! So glad you're moving along the right track! Remember: forgiveness doesn't excuse the wrongs done to you. It releases you!<br /><br />Your Giving Thanks list is really coming along.
